Powerball Winning Numbers: Results for Wednesday October 21 drawing for the $635 Million jackpot
No winning ticket was found on Monday, October 19 meaning the jackpot prize rolls over
The Powerball jackpot has risen to an estimated $635 million for Wednesday, October 21, after no ticket matched all six numbers in Monday's drawing as the prize carries an estimated cash value of $635 million for a winner choosing the lump sum.
The jackpot has been growing since a player in Illinois won $1.04 billion in August. Wednesday's drawing gives players another chance to claim the prize, although the winning numbers and jackpot outcome are not yet published.
The drawing for the winning numbers for Wednesday, October 21, is scheduled for around 22:59 ET/17:00 PT, and players can watch it live through the official Powerball website for the latest outcome.
Monday's drawing on October 19 produced the numbers 8, 31, 32, 42 and 48, with Powerball 23. The Power Play multiplier was 4X, but no ticket matched all five white balls and the red Powerball to take the jackpot in that drawing.
That means no player won the jackpot or the $2 million Match 5 + Power Play prize– although one ticket holder in Michigan did win $1 million by matching the five white-ball numbers.
As the jackpot was not won on October 19, so it rolled over and reached an estimated $635 million for Wednesday. The advertised prize is paired with a cash value of $267.5 million, before any applicable taxes are taken into account at both state and federal level.
How to play Powerball with the chance to win $635 million
Tickets cost $2 per play and are sold in 45 states, Washington, D.C. , Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands and depending on local laws, players may also be able to buy tickets online when visiting a participating jurisdiction.
To play, choose five white-ball numbers from 1 to 69 and one red Powerball number from 1 to 26. Players can select their own combination or use Quick Pick to have a computer generate the numbers for them.
Power Play costs an additional $1 and can multiply non-jackpot prizes by 2X, 3X, 4X, 5X or 10X. The jackpot requires a ticket to match all five white balls and the red Powerball , rather than relying on the multiplier alone.
The odds of winning the jackpot are 1 in 292.2 million and those odds remain the same for players across the United States and in the United Kingdom , as British citizens are also eligible to compete in Powerball .
Power Play can change eligible non-jackpot payouts rather than improve the chance of winning the top prize and players can check the official results after the scheduled drawing for the outcome.
